Mrs\Miss\Ms

if you don't know a person very well, then it's best to use Ms.
Mrs. is used when you know that person is married.

I usually write Ms. even if I know if the person is married or not.

So do I- it makes life much simpler.

I use Mrs is I know that person is married.
If I am speaking to that person and they look at an age where they may be married, I ask them whether they are a Miss or a Mrs, but subtly. As in "Yes Mrs... are you a Miss or a Mrs?"
Do not say "are you married?", english people may find that offensive or intrusive, especially if you do not know them well.
I use Miss if I know that person is not married, or they look quite young.
In writing I always use Ms. If I do not know whether the person is married or not.

When saying adult's names, I always say "Miss" even when I know that they're married. When writing, though, I'll write Mrs. if I know they're married, and Ms. if they're not or I don't know.

Except for my Spanish teacher - she's Señora.
